Ocean Toes Bookkeeping

07/02/2026

As a bookkeeper, I often think about things a little differently when I go to another business, stay at a hotel, etc.

Did you see this couple that climbed to the top of the Empire State Building antenna? A lot of people are saying it's a publicity stunt for their Netflix documentary, or maybe they're even making a new one.

That made me think about their business expenses.

While their fines for climbing the antenna aren't deductible because it's illegal, their legal fees, travel, marketing costs, editing & production costs, are all deductible business expenses.

Do you think it was worth it if it was a publicity stunt?

I've already added their current documentary to my Netflix list. 😆

Two people climbed to the top of the Empire State Building Wednesday afternoon and unfurled a banned on top of its spire.

I heard something really disheartening today. "I'm afraid to look at my QuickBooks because my bookkeeper is so behind." 😭

What made it even worse is that she HAS to go into her QuickBooks to invoice her clients and she was waiting days because that's how badly she doesn't want to see it.

You shouldn't be waiting months for your bookkeeper to categorize transactions, reconcile, and send you reports.

Wow. They had me thinking, "what $4,800 payment," and "do I even have that much in my account," and "what is going on?" Then, I looked at the email address this came from. The "unsubscribe" link sort of gave it away.

Don't fall for these emails. Don't click the green "view details" button. Check the return email address first to see if it looks legit. hirefrederick . com is not sending emails for Intuit or QuickBooks.

When hiring a bookkeeper, it’s important to choose someone who works *with* your CPA, not just at tax time, but all year long.

Accurate, consistent books make tax season smoother and give your CPA exactly what they need to do their job well.

And don’t just take my word for it. Here’s what one client’s CPA had to say:

“Thank you so much for your thoroughness, Kyle! It’s refreshing to have someone so detail-oriented handling the books!”

Ocean says:

‘Don’t miss the ocean, hire someone to do your bookkeeping instead!’ 🌊

Quarterly taxes are due today, but we’re relaxing and enjoying our last morning at the beach while I make sure my clients’ numbers are in order.

You can have the same peace of mind, and maybe a vacation too!

Today while visiting monkeys in the Dominican Republic, Ocean asked:

‘Why do adults get stressed with taxes?’

I told her: because they try to do it all themselves.

Quarter 4 estimated taxes are due tomorrow, Jan 15. If you want to go on vacation without worrying about deadlines, I can handle the hard work for you!
